Those with Kooks, did u use their gasket? For those few here that have Kooks headers, did you guys use their gaskets they supplied, or did you use some other one. I used theirs with no problems but i've heard that the GM gaskets are the best. Should I stay with the ones supplied or change em out? Thanks

Re: Those with Kooks, did u use their gasket? Actually, go with the Kooks gaskets. They told me they are matched to their headers and they are. They follow the flanges exactly. I know this because I put on on backwards and I couldn't bolt up the header.
Re: Those with Kooks, did u use their gasket? yeah, with most all header companies, they send you the proper gaskets that match the headers, because there more open, the port holes are usually bigger and perfect fit, I say go with what they sent you, just make sure you torke them properly

Re: Those with Kooks, did u use their gasket? I just installed my headers about a week ago. I had the same question as yourself. I did a lot of checking around and talk to several of lS1 tech's top sponsors and they all told me to go with the gm gaskets. On the other hand, since you have already installed them, I would continue to run them until you experience problems. At that point I would go with the OEM gaskets.
What kind of gains did you experience???
